Whoopie pie are these amazing cream fill sponge sandwich from the USA. They come in every size, shape, shade and flavour sandwich together with sweet cream filling. These are pretty simple to make but look amazing, great for impressing someone!
Some Red Velvet sponge can be really heavy but this one os lovely and light. The white chocolate filling is to die for! They are great why finish off a Valentines dinner for a loved one! A word of warning they will keep for a day in advance but any longer than that I’m not sure how the cream will affect the sponge.
As these are the perfect treat for a loved one I’m entering these into Calendar Cakes hosted by Rachel from Dolly Bakes and co-hosted by Laura from Laura loves Cakes,the theme for February is Oh L’amour!.
I’m also entering them into Treat Petite hosted by Stuart from Cakeyboi and co-hosted by Kat from the Baking Explorer as the theme for February is Loved Ones.
